INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM MOUSE WITH A SLIDING BUTTON THAT INCLUDES ORTHOGONAL ACTIVATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875927 titled 'INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM MOUSE WITH A SLIDING BUTTON THAT INCLUDES ORTHOGONAL ACTIVATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information handling system mouse that has a sliding power button on the bottom surface. This sliding power button can be slid to an on position, allowing it to move inward and actuate a tactile button underneath it when pushed by the end user. When in the off position, the sliding power button catches under a lip, preventing an inward push at the tactile button. The dual motion of the sliding power button allows for intuitive and varied end user interactions with a single button structure, saving space on the mouse bottom surface.

  • The mouse has a sliding power button on the bottom surface.
  • The sliding power button can be slid to an on position.
  • When in the on position, the sliding power button can be pushed inward to actuate a tactile button.
  • When in the off position, the sliding power button catches under a lip, preventing an inward push at the tactile button.
  • The sliding power button offers intuitive and varied end user interactions with a single button structure.
  • The design saves space on the mouse bottom surface.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Computer mice and other input devices
  • Gaming peripherals
  • Industrial control systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a compact and space-saving design for mouse buttons
  • Offers intuitive and varied interactions for end users

Benefits of this technology:

  • Saves space on the mouse bottom surface
  • Allows for intuitive and varied end user interactions
  • Provides a simple and efficient power button mechanism


Original Abstract Submitted

An information handling system mouse includes a sliding power button on a bottom surface that slides to actuate a power switch on and off. When slid to an on position, the sliding power button is freed to move inward to actuate a tactile button under the sliding power button, such as with an end user inward push. In the off position the sliding power button catches under lip that prevents an inward push at the tactile button. Dual motion of the sliding power button offers intuitive varied end user interactions with a single button structure to save space at the mouse bottom surface.
